Chapter 705: Heart Lamp
Li Yi looked in from the open window, and as his line of sight gradually deepened, the material was completely displayed in front of his eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He shook his head, it's a pity, the material that can produce a bracelet from a normal southern red agate is considered a big material, and it is not easy to meet such a big one, but it is still of this quality, it is really blind.
The line of sight soon saw the end of the original stone, because Li Yi had already seen the stone skin at that end. However, to his surprise, it was as if he had suddenly been teleported to another copy while playing a game, and his gaze did not see through the empty space, but instead entered the interior of another piece of glittering agate!
Although the size of this agate cannot be compared with this oversized rough stone, in the agate, it is also relatively large, the size of a small watermelon.
Moreover, the whole body of this piece of material seems to be a crystal filled with emulsion, most of it is milky white agate meat like a gel frozen stone, and the rest is a brightly colored persimmon red, as if a thick colored cloud floats on top of the milky white agate meat.
"Huh?"
Li Yi frowned, withdrew his gaze, and looked at the size of the perspective part of the rough stone just now.
There are other rough agate stones next to this large agate, but they are not too close to each other. But the second agate he saw just now was definitely next to the first agate, and the two were like neighbors on the wall, separated by a thin layer of stone skin, and even said that the two pieces of agate shared that piece of stone skin, but the quality of these two pieces of agate was too different, right? Is this still a rock?
The words "Zombie Stone Jade" popped up in Li Yi's mind, and he also remembered people's unreliable explanation of "Zombie Stone Jade". Could it be that this large agate is also the product of several pieces of agate rough stones being squeezed together?
If that's the case, then this one is a rarity!
Rubbing his eyes, Li Yi held the original stone with one hand and looked into it again.
Just now, he saw through the horizontal direction, and he saw a total of two different qualities of southern red agate. This time, he directly condescended and looked down from the top of the rough stone, but unexpectedly, he actually found a different quality of agate!
The newly discovered piece of pure rose-red agate was located on the right side of the center of the large material, the size of an adult's fist.
This agate is surrounded by the kind of agate of bad quality that the window shows, and a little above, about four or five centimeters thick, is the red agate of the persimmon that I just saw.
However, in this direction, there is no clear boundary between the three colors. In comparison, the piece of stone skin that I just saw was more like a piece of impurity!
Retracting his gaze, Li Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, this piece of agate is definitely a piece of material that is quite pitiful, and it is not just a pit buyer. If the position of the window is not opened correctly, just like the current boss, although there are two windows open on the upper side and below, there is still some distance from the two pieces of good material, which is to pit the seller in.
However, it is better for a pit seller than a pit buyer, because the other two pieces of agate are small and superb, and no matter which one is rubbed out, the value of this rough stone will be infinitely overestimated, so that the unlucky buyer is likely to go bankrupt and lose all his money.
"What? No way? Not at all? ”
Zheng Shusen has never seen such a large southern red agate rough, in his mind, as long as this piece has a little merit, it should be bought, and then made into a large carving placed in the future flagship store, which can be regarded as an improvement in the quality of the store.
"Well, how to say? Boss, how do you sell this piece? ”
"Hehe, the weight of this rough stone is 507 kilograms, I'll give you 320 kilograms, give me a total of 160,000!"
"You still need 160,000 for this quality? I think 16,000 is about the same! ”
If this rough stone is of this quality when viewed from the window, it is basically a piece of waste. Therefore, when Zheng Shusen heard that the boss actually offered such an outrageous price, he quit at that time.
"Such a big stone, 160,000 is too high? So how much do you think you can come up with? ”
After listening to the conversation between the two people, Li Yi was suddenly stunned, how could this price be so low? Immediately realized that this was betting on agate, not stone, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
"Sixteen thousand is indeed a little low, so let's do it, sixty-eight thousand, sixty-eight I will accept it!"
"Hehe, such a large piece of material, even if it is all hot processed and then sold out, it is more than that, in this way, 150,000 ......"
Li Yi saw the two of them talking about the price, so he smiled and patted Zheng Shusen's shoulder, walked to the side and continued to look at his stone.
The rough stones on this second shelf were much stronger than the first shelf, and it didn't take long for him to take a fancy to two pieces, both of which were also Nanhong.
Of these two pieces, one of them is of average quality, but it is relatively large, about the same as his fist. The other is the size of an egg, but the quality is even better.
Both of these agate pieces have been ground into a section, so they cannot be counted as gambling materials, so the price is not cheap. Among them, the larger one costs more than 20,000, and the smaller one directly exceeds 30,000.
Li Yi shook his head, more than ten years ago, agate was not even a top-level gem in people's cognition. Not to mention other varieties of agate, even Nanhong, it is generally only a few dozen yuan a kilogram, and now, most of the dozens of yuan can't even buy a gram, and the price has increased thousands of times!
Moreover, this is still the price of ordinary materials, among which the unit price of each gram is from hundreds of thousands of yuan to more than 10,000 yuan! It can be said that the value of the best southern red agate is not below the best glass jadeite!
The two pieces on this shelf are relatively ordinary Nanhong, but the price has also reached hundreds of yuan a gram. And the two pieces that Li Yi saw in the big rough stone just now were even more amazing. Among them, the persimmon red south red with the size of a small watermelon is worth about 800,000 yuan, and the other rose red is much smaller, but because of the quality, the price is more than twice as high, even if it is not two million, it should not be much worse.
So Li Yi didn't care what price Zheng Shusen could negotiate in the end, as long as he could buy it.
However, what he didn't expect was that Zheng Shusen didn't understand the meaning of him patting him on the shoulder just now. I talked to the boss for a few words, and I saw that the boss bit the price very hard, this guy actually gave up, and directly threw a price of 80,000 yuan in the past, whether he likes to sell it or not, I don't like to buy it, master!
Seeing that this guy was muttering and complaining and came over to look at the stone, Li Yi turned around with a smile, picked up the chalk, drew a white line on the rough stone, and then said:
"Fourteen-eight thousand, huh? Okay, please help me cut along this line. ”
As soon as the voice fell, not only the boss was stunned, but even Zheng Shusen was stunned, what is the situation, is that still a good piece of material? However, when you looked at the stone just now, the one who shook your head was called a happy one, and it didn't look like you were cheating at all!
"Hehe, the quality of that piece of material is better than these two pieces."
Li Yi said softly in Zheng Shusen's ear, and then saw that this guy suddenly changed color, and shouted at him:
"What? That's why you paid 148,000 for that rotten stone? No, no, this price is too high, I don't agree! ”
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, and persuaded with a wry smile:
"Forget it, it's not easy for the boss, it's not easy for a piece of agate to grow so big, is there much money......"
"Not much money? You're talking about light! Okay, don't say I won't give you face, 120,000, if the material can be reduced to 120,000, I will agree to buy it, if the boss doesn't give face, hum! ”
The boss looked at this dramatic change, and he couldn't laugh or cry, and finally shook his head helplessly,
"Okay, 120,000 is 120,000! Who is going to pay the bill? ”
Seeing that Zheng Shusen's face was still full of resentment just now, he changed his face this time, went up and grabbed the boss's neck and hugged it hard, and said with a smile:
"This has made you an extra 40,000 yuan, you have to be careful when you cut the stone later, don't cut it badly, come, settle the bill!"
Seeing his performance, Li Yi couldn't help but smile and shook his head, just for less than 30,000 quick money, as for it? But after thinking about it, NND, 30,000 yuan, but one-fifth of the price of that piece of material! It seems that he still has a long way to go in terms of bargaining!
There are not many southern reds on the shelves, and most of them are Warring States reds. Although the quality of the rough stones on the second shelf is much better than that of the first shelf, Li Yi selected for a long time, in addition to the two pieces of Nanhong, a total of only three pieces were selected, and the largest of these three pieces was only more than 300 grams, and the smallest piece was not even much bigger than his thumb.
On the shelves in the back, Li Yi obviously sped up. He didn't pick up every piece and look at it, but stood a little farther away, his eyes open to perspective, as if he were a machine-gun fire, and first swept the whole thing before picking up the more or less scrutiny.
By the time the backyard cut the rough stones, and Zheng Shusen came over and called him over, he had already looked at all the rough stones on the shelves, and picked out more than 30 large and small ones.
"What's wrong? Cut down? ”
Seeing Zheng Shusen's black face, Li Yi was not surprised, because the line he drew couldn't cut out the two pieces of fine products, and he drew in that position, just to get some when he left later.
"It can't be considered a break, it should be considered flat. But I saw that the material is not very suitable for carving large pieces, and we can't use those that have been hot-processed to fool people when we make mid-to-high-end jewelry, so ......"
"Hehe, so it's still broken, isn't it? Go, make two more cuts and you'll understand. ”
Although he cut one knife, the cut piece was still dozens of kilograms larger, and Li Yi was going to cut two more knives against the edge of the two pieces of agate, and as for the rest, he would dispose of it to the boss.
Walking to the backyard, Gu Feng was squatting on the ground to carefully inspect the facet, Li Yi went up and pretended to look twice, then drew two more white lines, let the guy cut along the white line, and then turned his gaze to the several piles of agate rough stones piled up in the yard.
The sound of grinding wheels sounded again, and when everyone turned their attention to the stone cutting, Li Yi bent down and picked up a piece from the edge of a pile of agate rough stones.
This is a piece of Warring States red agate rough stone, about the size of a melon, but not very regular, covered with a light gray stone skin, no windows.
When he just saw through, Li Yi had already roughly seen the inside of this agate, if you look at it from the texture, it can only be said to be a fine product, and it is not among the best. But if you look at the pattern inside, this agate stone is indeed an out-and-out superlative, because this is a "heart lamp" agate!
"Heart Lamp" is a very special existence in the Warring States Red Agate, which is related to the characteristics of the Warring States Red and the color of the Warring States Red.
Most of the red agate of the Warring States period are red and yellow, and its layering is particularly obvious, but the interval between some layers is relatively dense, and some are more sparse. In terms of color alone, some of them are a mixture of red and yellow, some of them are exceptionally well-defined, and some of them will appear in other colors.
It is this special color and pattern that creates the "heart lamp".
Taken literally, the heart, refers to the core, the center, of agate. A lamp, on the other hand, is a flame that looks like a candle. Taken together, the "heart lamp" is at the core of the agate, and for some special reason, it forms a flame-like pattern that seems to be a candle flame.
There is no strict definition of the color of agate, as long as it can form a flame-like pattern in the center. Therefore, we can see the heart lamp of the yellow background and the red seedling, and sometimes there are blue and yellow seedlings, black and so on, but the most precious thing should be the yellow seedling, and at the same time, under the yellow seedling, there is a candle-shaped white thread!
That is to say, this kind of agate is cut, no matter what the background color is, you will see a pattern that is at least eight or nine points similar to the candle, which is the best in the heart lamp, and the best in the best!
If ordinary heart lamp agate is worth millions, then the value of this agate must at least quadruple on that basis!
What Li Yi is getting now is a piece of such a heart lamp agate, but it's a pity that the quality of this agate itself is not the best, and the columnar white thread under the yellow flame is not very regular, and the similarity with the candle is only six points.
But even so, it's a superb. Li Yi estimates that if it is auctioned at the auction, the starting price must be at least seven figures, and as for the transaction price, doubling the starting price should be the minimum!
After reversing the weight of the rough stone, Li Yi carefully put it in the shopping basket next to him, and then bent down and took down a strip of rough stone weighing about 500 grams from the top of the stone pile.
This is a piece of the best southern red.
If the heart lamp just now won with a peculiar and rare pattern, this one purely depends on quality. Moreover, in Li Yi's eyes, its value is not only not cheaper than that heart lamp, but even surpasses! (To be continued.) )
